Need  banner for an event or special function? Indoor or outdoor? There are many options available for you to consider.
Banner weights are measured in ounces. Tear strengths are based on those ounces. Indoor banners or very short term banners should be 8 oz. or 10 oz. banners. Though, 10 oz. banners will be okay for about 2 weeks maximum outdoor. Outdoor banners mid term usage would be best at 13 oz. You can also put other options on 13 oz. banners that will make them a very strong banner. There is also a 16 oz. banner that is most common for long term outdoor use. Last, there is the 18 oz. that some feel is better than the 16 oz. Measuring tear strength will show you they are virtually the same. The cost of 18 oz. is more expensive.
In my next blog, I will be writing more on banners – comparing digital printed banners to vinyl banners. And later, the options you have for banner finishes.
